Jagtap & Hodgson Win Welsh
Junior Open Titles
India's Aditya Jagtap
and Robyn Hodgson, from Scotland, prevailed in tough U19 finals in the
Kane Mailing Welsh Junior Open Squash Championships in Cardiff to
celebrate their first successes on the European Squash Federation Junior
Circuit.
Jagtap was top seed in the
men's event - but the 16-year-old from Mumbai, now based at Millfield School in
England, had to fight from two games down in the final to overcome second-seeded
Englishman Anthony Graham 3-11, 8-11, 11-6, 13-11, 12-10.
The women's final also
went to five games - but this time the favourite was unable to press home her
advantage. Sarah Barnes, the top seed from France, recovered from two
games down to draw level - but 18-year-old Hodgson, the No2 seed, was on top
throughout the decider, ultimately winning 16-14, 11-4, 8-11, 10-12, 11-2.
